''the only thing i really noticed was the strange blue birthmark on
my arm before finding out about all this... and i've not noticed
anything different since i got here, at least not that i've
noticed'' Jacob spoke up.
A girl comes rushing up to Asriel, Lise and Nyx. "Asriel! I-- Oh!
Sorry for bursting in. I guess these are the new Telepaths?" The
silver haired girl said, smiling at the two.
"Sending thoughts to a living creature. Like, talking in their
mind." Asriel pauses as Nova comes up to them. "Ah, Nova, nice to
see you! Yes, these are two human-raised Telepaths."
"Then the training might be slightly slower for you..." Zia
says
(They got called down to the entrance to be assigned to one of the
Elites for special training)
Lise smiled at Nova. "Hello." She said. She didn't know why she was
being so friendly all of a sudden. Ugh, Troye was rubbing off on
her... Troye meanwhile, put his phone away. He looked over at
Jacob, then back to Zia. "So, what kind of training will we be
doing exactly?" He asked.
Nyx felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand up slightly at
Nova's arrival.Geez Nyx calm down just because she scared you
slightly doesn't mean you need to panic.She thinks to herself
while taking a few deep breathes to calm herself down.She then
shoots a small smile at Nova.
Jacob narrowed his eye's and stuffed one of his hand into his
pocket.
''like i said, i hadn't noticed any sign's okay? the only thing i
have noticed before coming here and being here is i'm always a bit
cold, that's why i always wear a jacket in the spring time'' he
said.
"Then let's start simple. Try lowering the temperature of the room.
Imagine the little particles of water in the air freezing, turning
colder." Zia says.
"Oh, and, uh, this is a Aliminoa flower, usually referred to as a
mood flower. All you have to do is try and send a certain emotion,
say, confusion towards it and it will respond." Asriel pauses for a
second and the flower shifts, becoming more poppy-like, with light
purple petals and a darker violet starburst from the middle. "So
I'm going to assign you both an emotion and you're going to try to
transmit that emotion to the flower. Whoever can do it faster and
stronger will win. It may take some practice, but eventually you'll
be able to transmit complex emotions."
Sugar was late but she didn't care, walking down to see the elites
near the entrance. "Oh," she simply said and went to Izia. "Sorry
i'm late," she mumbled in slight embarrassment.
Troye thought for a moment before closing his eyes, and after a
minute or two the temperature in the room dropped, but returned to
normal a few seconds later. He opened his eyes and blinked. "Hm..."
He said, not really satisfied. Lise nodded. "This shouldn't be too
difficult." She muttered.
"Hi! Um, Yeah, I'm Nova. I'm technically an Elite, but I still have
a bit to go before being fully initiated. Anyway, Aliminoa flowers?
Cool. I remember using them on my first day." Nova smiled at the
two before tuning to Asriel. "Can I speak with you for a moment
once you've assigned them their emotions?"
"Sure. Lise, you'll be doing happy emotions, and Nyx, you'll be
doing sad. Maybe the best Telepath win." Asriel let's the flower go
and it hovers in midair as he turns to Nova. "Yeah?"
"Good. Now, focus the power a little more to bring it exactly to 0
degrees." Zia says
Nyx blinks a few times.Interesting choice.She mused to
herself before looking at the flower.Should probably gather up
memories of sadness first and then try and make the flower feel
sad.That is the weirdest thing I ever thought to myself.She
closes her eyes and goes through the different memories looking for
one in particular.Where are yo..there you are.She mentally
watches the memory play out over and over again.Pushing away the
fear and focusing only on the sadness and grief that came with it.
Troye paused for a moment to regain his composure before trying
again. On his fourth attempt he managed to get the temperature down
to zero, and it stayed at zero for nearly a minute before he opened
his eyes. "C-cold." He said, shivering. Lise smirked and
concentrated on some of her happiest memories, which was hard
considering most of them went up in flames. She thought about when
she became frineds with Troye and the flower changed a little bit.
She narrowed her eyes. That wasn't good enough.
Nyx opens her eyes to see Lise had already changed the flower
slightly.Time to see what my sadness can do.She focuses in
on it and watches a the flower starts to wither slightly as if it
was dying from grief and sadness."I changed it slightly".She
mutters to Lise.
"Got it," Sugar followed Izzy and thought about the abilities of a
Pyrokinetic. Setting things on fire, heating the air... it
sounds scary, she thought.
